Does anyone else get tingling/vibrating and itching sensations across your body? I have always had this occasionally but recently its happened in my saddle area which has alarmed me. Anyone else get this? Also how d people differentiate between fibro and something else and manage their anxiety about this?
Thank you everyone
Hello. (I love your name "autonomicnellie!). I assume you have a dysautonomia or autonomic neuropathy diagnosis? I know exactly what you are saying. I find whenever I have a stressor (i.e. trying… read more
Wow! After all these years, I finally found several articles in Health Rising on this issue. This describes most of my bizarre issues with fibromyalgia that makes doctors think I’m nuts. Has anyone else ever heard of orthostatic Intolerance?
Aww Thank you Sherilynn. I just found this old post and a light bulb went off. Not saying it is something I have but you know how you just go UMMMM. 😁

I'm having to drink gatorade and eat six small meals during the day to keep my energy up, otherwise i feel weak. Is this part of fibro? I've also been diving in blood pressure and fainted once (woke up on the floor). From time to time, i have to take a larger breath. My family doctor is sending me to a cardiologist, so I guess it could be something with my heart, but I was wondering if some of my symptoms could be from the fibro. I have no clue since I'm new to the whole fibro scene. Does anyone… read more

Just wondering how many of you have been diagnosed with either or both ..... and was it before or after your fibro diagnosis?
Also, any of you who haven't been tested .... are you curious to whether you have it and will you consider asking your doctor for a test?

I cannot find a definitive answer online to the effects of humidity on fibro. I found 1 that states lower humidity causes more flares overall which actually surprised me
I’m not talking about rain. I know that affects me. Of course having a more humid climate means more rain
It seems maybe the areas with less change are more comfortable for us rather than the actual humidity?
I really want a beach area but have worried about the humidity. Now, I’m thinking the beach may be the way to go.

@A MyFibroTeam Member Because Menopause makes you hot as well? Usually my hubby is always cold because he has a thyroid problem but the heat & humidity has even been making him sick lately.
